Basic concept of Hardware


COMPUTER:-
Ø :-computer is an electronic device, which use for arithmetical and logical unit.
Ø (INPUT DEVICE)=(CPU)=(OUTPUT DEVICE).
Ø TASK OF COMPUTER:-
Ø There are three task of computer:-
1.    INPUT INSTRUCTION:- This task performed by input devices like keyboard,mouse,monitor etc.
2. PRCESSED INPUT INSTRUCTION:-  This task performed by CPU.
3. GIVE FINAL RESULT:- PERFORMED BY O/P DEVICES LIKE MONITOR &PRINTER.
THERE ARE 2 TYPE OF PROCESSOR:-
1.   INTEL(Integrated electronics)
2.   AMD( advance micro devices)
Ø Intel:- Pentium 1,2,3,4,dual core, core 2 dual.
Ø AMD:- Duron,turon,athelon,dual core.

MOTHERBOARD:-
1.   It is the mainboard which provide base for all devices used in CPU.
2.   It also provide interface for all devices like keyboard,mouse etc.
There are three types of motherboard:-
1)  :-Intel original:- (chipsset+motherboard) of Intel
2)  :-Intel chipset:- (chipset intel+ motherboard other)
Other compney MOTHER BOARD:- ASROCK,GIGABYTE,HP,ASUS etc.
3):-Non Intel chipset:- (chipset+M.B) of other.
Other compney chipset-VIA,SIS,ATI.



 HARD DISK:-THIS IS THE PERMANENT DEVICE FIXED IN THE COMPUTER.

Ø TYPES OF HARD DISK:- SATA,PATA,SCSI.


PORT OF CPU:-


     I.            VGA PORT: - The socket on the back of a PC that used to connect a monitor.this is the 15 pin female connector.
II.            LPT PORT: - (LINE PRINT TERMINAL):- also called printer  code or parallel code use for printer .25 pin female connector.


III.            COMMUNICATION PORT:- (COM 1 & COM 2):- Use in printer,modem,serial mouse,mono monitor etc.
9 pin male connector.


IV.            USB PORT (universal serial bus port):- For USB devices like pendrive,card reader,usb printer, external device etc.
        Data transfer speed 480 mbps.

 V.            LAN PORT :-  Used for networking or internal use.
MEMORY UNIT ON YHE BASE OF STORAGE:-
Memory unit area of computer where data an instruction can be stored in its permanent or temporary form.             
 On the base of storage there are two type of memory.
1.   Volatile memory/online memory.
2.   Non volatile memory memory/offline memory.

Difference between Permanent memory & Temprary memory.

v  PERMANENT MEMORY:-  
v  Does not require electricity to store data.
v Offline /non volatile memory.
v Ex- hard disk.

v TEMPRARY MEMORY:-
v Stored data & instruction till they recieve the electricity when electricity cut then data loss.
v Online /volatile memory.
v Ex-RAM, CACHE memory.
Memory unit  (on the base of working):-
Primary memory:-
Primary memory is faster to access because it is wired directly to theprocessor. It is used by the system to perform operations while programs are running.
 Examples are cache, RAM, and ROM.
Content in the primary memory lost once the computer system is turned off.

Secondry memory:-
Secondary memory is usually somewhat slower and is used for permanent storage of
information. Examples are hard disks, floppy disks, DVDs, flash memory, etc.
Content in the secondary memory remains intact even if the computer system is turned off.

BIT:-  A bit is a binary digit,the smallest increment of data on a computer.
A bit can hold only two digit 0 to 1.

Measurement unit of data:-
1 nibble = 4 bit.
1 byte = 8 bit.
1 KB = 1024 byte.
1 MB = 1024 KB.
1 GB = 1024 MB.
1 TB = 1024 GB.
1 PB (PETA BYTE) = 1024 TB.
1 EB (EXA BYTE) = 1024 PB.
1 ZB (ZETTA BYTE) = 1024 EB.
            1 YB (YOTTA BYTE) =1024 ZB.

ü RAM (Random access memory ):-

RAM is the type of primary memory used by processing unit to hold data and instruction.
It also called online memory because it hold data and instruction till receive electricity.
RAM is the capacitor based memory which used to store electric charge. it means data store in RAM in the form of electric charge.
RAM is much faster to read and write data than other kinds of storage like hard disk, floppy disk, CD Rom.

ü Types of RAM :-
ü S RAM.(static random access memory)
ü D RAM (dynamic random access memory)



ü Difference between Static RAM & Dynamic RAM:-

Ø SRAM :-
1. Stores bits in memory cells composed of flip flops.
2. Each cell which can store a single bit requires six transistors.
3. Does not need to be refreshed periodically as flips flops retain the data.
4. Faster access time compared to DRAM, therefore used as caches mostly.
5. Low density/less memory per chip due to more circuitry required for a single cell.
6. More power consumption than DRAM because of low chip density.
7. More costly in terms of cost per bit compared to DRAM due to low chip density.


Ø DRAM :-
1. Memory cells are composed of capacitors and transistors. 2. Each cell requires a capacitor (which stores bit as charge) & a transistor.
3. Needs to be refreshing every few milliseconds to retain data because the charge of the capacitor leaks.
4. Slower access time compared to SRAM as it cannot be read while being refreshed.
5. High chip density/more memory per chip compared to SRAM due to less circuitry for a single cell.
6. Less power consumption than SRAM because of simple circuitry.
7. Less costly than SRAM because of high chip density and therefore used as main memory in PCs.

*  Memory module:- when many memory chips solded on a single circuit board then this combination is called memory module.
*  All types of DRAM in memory module:-
1.   DIP TYPE MEMORY MODULE.

Ø The table below summarises the main methods of data storage.

Method
Commentary
Hard disks
Often called a disk drive, hard drive or hard disk drive, this method of data storage stores and provides relatively quick access to large amounts of data. The information is stored on electromagnetically charged surfaces called 'platters'.
Floppy disks
A floppy disk is a type of magnetic disk memory which consists of a flexible disk with a magnetic coating. Almost all floppy disks for personal computers now have a capacity of 1.44 megabytes. Floppy disks are readily portable, and are very popular for transferring software from one PC to another. They are, however, very slow compared to hard disks and lack storage capacity. Increasingly, therefore, computer manufacturers are not including floppy disk drives in the products as a built-in storage option.
Tape storage
Tape is used as an external storage medium. It consists of a loop of flexible celluloid-like material that can store data in the form of electromagnetic charges. A tape drive is the device that positions, writes from, and reads to the tape. A tape cartridge is a protectively-encased tape that is portable.
Optical disks
An optical disc is a storage medium that can be written to and read using a low-powered laser beam. A laser reads these dots, and the data is converted to an electrical signal, finally converted into the original data.
CD-R
Compact Disc-Recordable ("CD-R") discs have become a universal data storage medium worldwide. CD-Rs are becoming increasingly popular for music recording and for file storage or transfer between personal conmputers. CDR discs are write-once media. This means that - once used -they cannot be erased or re-recorded upon. CD-R discs can be played back in any audio CD player or CD-ROM drive, as well as many DVD players and drives.
CD-RW
Compact Disc-Rewritable (CD-RW) disks are rewritable and can be erased and re-recorded upon over and over again. CD-RW discs can only be used on CD players, CD-ROM drives, and DVD players and drives that are CD-RW playback-compatible.
DVD
A DVD (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc) is a high density optical disc with large capacity for storage of data, pictures and sound. The capacity capacity is 4.7 GB for single sided, singe layer DVD disc - which is approximately 7 times larger than that of a compact disc.


ROM(READ ONLY MEMORY):-
ROM available on to motherboard which contain a program called BIOS.
It is not completely hardware are not completely software.
It is a combination of hardware and software therefore it is called  firmware.
ROM chip generated n address for each device. so that processor can use. This address is called IRQ(interrupt request) address.
Types of ROM:- 
1.   PROM
2.   EPROM
3.   EEROM
Ø PROM:-  Programmed by the manufacture. But its programme can not be erased.
Ø EPROM:- It is also a type of PROM. But its programme can be erased by ultraviolet  rays.
A special type device EPROM is used to erased its programme.
Ø EEROM:- It does not effect by ultarvoilet rays.
Its programme can be erased electrically therefore it is known FLASH ROM OR FLASH BIOS.
BIOS:- It stands for basic i/p and o/p system.it is the inbuilt program into ROM chip.
It provides interaction between software(os) and hardware.

Bios perform 2 task:-
1.   Post(power on self test) process.
2.   Booting process.

O.S(operating system):- it is a system software which provide the platform of the user. That is called O.S.
vDOS (disk operating system):- there are different types of dos.
